lol, what a bunch of boobs. So obvious their excuse is to cover their own useless, tax wasting arses

Any sifters do AIRSOFT?
I've done paintball before, just wondering how airsoft is different. Do you just use the honor system as far as being hit?

Honor system mostly especially in wider open area environments. Smaller fields and indoor fields may have a match coordinator also serve as an "acting" ref.

From experience, the orange tip is a massive grey zone, with enforcement very arbitrary. That's probably why the owner was able to get by before, but suddenly not able to now. I used to keep an orange ribbon around so that any time law enforcement of any type showed up, I would wrap around the end of my barrels so it would "technically" comply, just in case.

As for the internals, to give an idea of how different they are, theres usually two "barrels" to the gun, the outer cosmetic barrel and the inner proper barrel. To say that airsoft weapons can be easily chambered to fire real bullets is like saying you can get them to fire out of a metal pipe. The upper and lower receiver internals are, for electric, a mechanical gearbox that has more in common with an RC car than a firearm. Gas is even more "different" as all its doing is pressing a button on the magazine to release the gas and launch the BB.

All of this doesn't even touch upon the fact that ATF defines the firearm portion of a real weapon to be the lower receiver and not the upper receiver. Thats where generally the firearm bits that do most of the real work are. So to say that an airsoft gun could be converted from the shell of an airsoft rifle would conflict with that lower receiver policy.

By the way, in the airsoft community, "any kid, any parent, any adult going out of the house with this..." would usually get you kicked off the establishment for doing something that stupid. Gunbags, fucking gunbags.

Nothing so inspires quite like an inarticulate federal agent lying and talking horseshit in a cheap suit.

Will they be 'gun-walking' these weapons to Mexico, too?

Kelven certainly is a "special" agent.

Yea I do.
It's pretty much an honour system as far as getting tagged is concerned. Though in fairness, in close quarters those little motherfuckers can leave a nasty mark and you will react to the pain.

Those little yellow airsoft bb's hurt more irritatingly than those paint balls do, and they leave teensy bruises (more-so on gals) that look as if you had fallen asleep and woke up to find that you'd been attacked by woodpeckers.

Just to be clear this happened three years ago, and the ATF backed down:

I think it's funny that none of the airsoft guns in the video, besides those held by the store owner and the host have orange tips.

I dunno, I've been shot at close range on a chilly day with a paintball and it hurt pretty bad.
